Waco council approves Cowen Village Phase 4 final PUD with conditions
Summary
The City Council approved the final planned unit development plan for Cowen Village Phase 4, a 45.89-acre tract proposing 134 single-family lots, with three development conditions tied to permits, landscaping and a privacy fence.
The Waco City Council on Dec. 17 approved the final planned unit development (PUD) plan for Cowen Village Phase 4, a proposed 45.89-acre subdivision that would create 134 single-family lots.
Director Galen Price told the council during a public hearing that the plan covers property described as a 45.89-acre tract in McLennan County and that the city’s Plan Commission recommended approval by a 9-0 vote. The council heard no public comments on the item before taking the vote.
The council approved the final PUD with three conditions tied to development and permitting. The conditions require: submission of complete building plans meeting all city development requirements before issuance of building permits; that required landscaping be installed and meet PUD and vision-ordinance standards before permits are issued; and construction of an 8-foot privacy fence or wall along the northern property line adjacent to Stamford Oaks Addition, per the approved concept plan.
During the presentation, Price said the final PUD is consistent with the previously approved concept PUD and complies with the city’s PUD ordinance and related site-development standards. Council members asked no questions, and no members of the public addressed the council during the hearing.
The motion to approve the final PUD was made and seconded on the council floor, and a roll call recorded multiple affirmative votes before the mayor declared the motion passed.
The approval directs development to follow the city’s standard permitting and code compliance checks; staff did not identify any waivers to the city’s building or public-facilities requirements. The Plan Commission and staff findings cited adequate circulation, public facilities and service plans, and compatibility with the approved concept PUD.
The council’s approval is a final administrative action on the PUD plan; future building permits and site work will be subject to plan review, permitting and inspections required under the city code.
